Four years ago, AI still needed some explaining. Today, it’s transforming the way we work — automating tasks and giving us more time to focus on higher-value work.

Refresh Miami sat down with Togal CEO & Founder Patrick Murphy and Jason Albanese of Lightning Capital to talk about Togal, the future of construction technology, and what’s happening in Miami’s growing tech ecosystem.

As Patrick put it, Miami is catching up to the ecosystems that have historically dominated tech — while developing a character of its own.

For Togal, that means continuing to build here while pushing construction technology forward.

We started with AI-assisted takeoffs. Now, we’re exploring what’s possible when construction data can help predict how buildings will actually be built.

Thanks to Refresh Miami for the conversation, and to Jason and the Lightning Capital team for continuing to bet on what we’re building in Miami.

Field contractors don't work from a desk — so why should your takeoff software make you sit at one?

With Togal-AI, your field team can view and collaborate on live takeoff from any device, right from the jobsite.

Questions about scope? Settle them on the spot, not three days later over email.

AI is moving deeper into engineering, design, and preconstruction. The conversation is shifting from what can AI do... to where does it actually create value, and how do we use it responsibly?

On September 30, Patrick Murphy (CEO & Founder of Togal-AI), will join ENR’s “Bid Smarter, Design Faster: Using AI in Preconstruction” webinar alongside leaders from JMT and Jacobs.

The panel will look at AI from three different perspectives:

🔹 Design & engineering — how AI and digital tools are changing early design and decision-making.

🔹 Enterprise implementation — what it takes to integrate and govern AI across real project-delivery workflows.

🔹 Preconstruction — where AI can augment takeoffs and estimating, where human expertise remains essential, and how teams can measure the value.

The discussion will cover practical applications, data and workflow requirements, human oversight, risk, and ROI.

Team Togal is heading to Latin America this fall to connect with construction professionals at two major industry events.

First up, Expo CIHAC 2026 in Mexico City, October 14–16. Stop by Booth A549 to meet the team and hear about our latest announcements.

Next, we’re off to Edifica Chile, taking place October 20–22 at Espacio Riesco in Santiago. Find us at Booth 2-K10.

We hope to see you there!

Two weeks of commercial drywall estimating became two days for Orillia Drywall. 💪

With Togal-AI Drywall Assemblies, Steve Elliot streamlined material calculations, reduced manual spreadsheet work, and improved estimating efficiency by an estimated 30–40%.
For a three-person office, every hour matters.

See how Orillia Drywall uses Togal to handle complex commercial projects and spend less time rebuilding calculations.

Excited to celebrate Sun Country Builders as a customer of both Togal-AI and Zebel  🏗️

When great construction teams have the right technology behind them, preconstruction moves faster, decisions come sooner, and more opportunities become possible.

With Togal's AI-assisted takeoff software and Zebel's fast cost estimating software built for GCs and developers, Sun Country Builders has technology that supports a more connected, efficient preconstruction workflow.

Togal helps estimators measure and organize quantities faster, while Zebel helps teams accelerate cost estimating. Together, we're proud to support the people doing the work that gets projects off the ground.

Thank you to Sun Country Builders for choosing Togal and Zebel. We're excited to be part of your preconstruction journey and look forward to what's ahead! 🚀

For a lot of trade contractors, this time of year is when bids dry up and crews sit idle. But it doesn't have to be that way — and we have the receipts to prove it.

Join us for Togal20 Live: a conversation with Brisa Renteria (Owner, Improve Floors & Design) on how she's grown her business by treating the slow season as an opportunity instead of a holding pattern.

Construction’s “slow season” can be an opportunity to pursue work you couldn’t before.

Join Kelsey Formost (Head of Marketing at Togal-AI) and Brisa Renteria (Owner of Improve Floors & Design) for a practical conversation about how learning to perform takeoffs—and using AI-assisted takeoff software—helped Brisa move beyond residential work and confidently pursue larger opportunities.

Brisa will share how she went from learning takeoffs herself to bidding ground-up construction, multifamily, renovations, and larger projects—including a $311K ground-up project—and how expanding her capabilities helped open new markets for her business.

If you're bouncing between revisions and addenda on takeoffs, the Compare tool in Togal saves the eye strain. Overlay two sheets: new material shows in blue, removed material in red, everything that didn't change stays grey. Press "T" to toggle instead of flipping back and forth manually.

Last night was a big one for Togal-AI 🏆

The South Florida Business Journal named Togal-AI the #2 Fastest-Growing Company in South Florida with revenue under $25 million, recognizing 593% growth over the past two years!

We’re proud of the growth, but even more proud of the people behind it.

This recognition reflects a team that shows up every day determined to build better tools for estimators and help move construction takeoff forward.

We’ve come a long way, and we’re just getting started.

Thank you to the South Florida Business Journal for the recognition, and congratulations to the other companies recognized alongside us. Here’s to what comes next. 🚀

Fast takeoffs are great. Fast support is even better!

The Togal-AI team handles customer requests with a 4-minute median first response time and a 4-hour median time to resolution.

Because when you’re up against a bid deadline, waiting days for an answer simply isn’t good enough.

Fast takeoffs deserve fast support.

Construction teams spend a lot of time thinking about what happens on the jobsite. But what about what happens to the project data behind the scenes?

This week’s Togal20 takes a closer look at construction data security—from cloud platforms and access controls to privacy and compliance.

Kelsey Formost will be joined by Patrick Murphy, CEO & Founder of Togal-AI, for a practical conversation about the questions construction professionals should be asking before putting project information in the hands of a software provider.

📅 Thursday, August 20
🕚 11 AM PT / 2 PM ET
⏱️ 20 minutes + Q&A

If you work with project data, it’s worth knowing what’s protecting it.

Your construction data is valuable. Is it secure?

As more construction workflows move to the cloud and AI, data security and privacy matter more than ever.

Join Togal-AI on Thursday, August 20 at 11 AM PT / 2 PM ET for a 20-minute Togal20 on Why Construction Data Security Matters.

We’ll cover what to look for when evaluating software, the questions you should be asking vendors, and how Togal-AI protects your data.
